This isn’t Eat Pray Love—this is ride, crash, and confront your soul. It throws people into Himalayan cliff roads and sends them on a spiritual journey.
My colleague Rob Kelly also tagged this one in his list of the best motorcycle documentaries.

You Can’t Make This Sh!t Up
- They’re riding motorcycles on Himalayan cliff roads with no guardrails. One wrong move and it’s a straight drop thousands of feet.
- The group pushes through monsoon rains where roads turn into mud rivers, while dodging trucks, buses, and what locals literally call “road-killer traffic.”

Other Unique Stuff
- The journey takes them to the Four Sacred Peaks—Kedarnath, Tungnath, Badrinath, and Hemkund Sahib—at altitudes where oxygen is thin and basic riding becomes dangerous.
- Their guide, Anand Mehrotra, forces them into emotional breakdowns, confronting fears, ego, and identity mid-ride.
- The visuals are insane—tight cliff roads, fog rolling through mountain passes, and ancient temples perched in remote locations.
Wrap Up:
“The Road to Dharma” is part motorcycle adventure, part spiritual gut check. If you want something that mixes real danger with real personal transformation, this one goes deeper than most travel docs.
Thanks for reading!
